Title: Selection of quantisation schemes for spatial audio parameter encoding
Inventor: ADRIANA VASILACHE
IPC: G10L19/032
Filed: 2018-10-02
Abstract: An azimuth and elevation is received for each time frequency block of a sub band of an audio frame. A distortion measure is determined for each of two quantisation schemes. One of those quantization schemes is selected 311, based on the distortion measures, for quantising all time-frequency blocks of the sub-band. The distortion measures are obtained by summing distance measures for each time frequency block, where the distance measures relate to the azimuth and elevation and their quantised values under either quantisation scheme. The first scheme may first select the closest elevation value Ec from a set, and then select the closest azimuth from a set that depends on Ec. The second scheme may use quantised averaged azimuth and elevation values (Aav, Eav) of all time-frequency blocks, and use a codebook to vector-quantise a mean removed azimuth vector obtained by subtracting Aav from the azimuth for each time-frequency block.
